Soft and chewy, old fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg! Delicious, homemade cookies like you enjoyed in childhood!

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 13 minutes

Total Time 28 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups butter flavored Crisco
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups quick cook oats
1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3 cups raisins

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat Crisco, sugars, egg, milk and vanilla until creamy. Add in flour, oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat until blended.
Fold in raisins.
Drop by large tablespoon (I use this cookie scoop) onto baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Store in airtight container for up to 5 days. ENJOY

Notes

*If you want to freeze the cookie dough, drop by tablespoons onto cookie sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes. Place partially frozen dough balls in a freezer safe ziploc bag and store until ready to bake. Add a few minutes to baking time if baking from frozen. ENJOY.
